Melody Patterson was best know for her role on the 60's show F Troop. She was 16 at the time but played a much older role playing Captain Parmenter girlfriend. She lied to the studio saying she was 18 at the time according to numerous internet reports.
After F-Troop was cancelled in 1967 she did some TV, radio and entertained the troops in Vietnam. She married actor James MacArthur who is known for the role of Dan "Danno" Williams in the original TV series Hawaii Five-O from 1970 to 1975. She appeared in many Hawaii Five-O episodes.
Born April 16, 1949 she is 64 at the time of this writing. She occasionally frequents reunion gatherings for F Troop however her official website wranglerjane.com went offline in 2005.

Here's a unique and forgotten game show: The Magnificent Marble Machine! Hosted by Art James, the show ran for 11 months on NBC starting on July 7, 1975. Designed to take advantage of the pinball craze, contestants were paired with celebrity partners to solve word puzzles, which, by some bizarre logic, entitled the winners to play an oversized pinball machine for cash and prizes! If the ball hit a bumper the contestant won a prize. Hey, I liked the show, but I was 11 years old at the time.

Regulars on this website know that I love this old show. (My 300-plus WML posts attest to this!) The original CBS version of What's My Line aired Sunday nights at 10:30 from February 2, 1950 to September 3, 1967. I was just three years old when it went off the air so I never saw WML during its glory days (although I frequently watched the syndicated 1968-75 version). To make up for what I missed, I've been reading everything I can about this great slice of Americana. In the comment section below, I'll be listing some esoteric facts--trivia, if you like--about this supremely classy game show. By the way, this is a publicity photo of the WML gang from 1955.

Some celebrities just aren't cut out to be on games shows. Check out how country musician Buck Owens throws a monkey wrench into a round of Match Game in 1975. (Owens only appeared this one week on Match Game; he was never invited back.) Tags:BuckOwensMatchGamegaffeAdded: 19th January 2009Views: 1503Rating:Posted By:Lava1964

The SI cover of Chuck Wepner I posted earlier prompted me to find this clip: The 15th round of Wepner's gallant losing effort versus Muhammad Ali in 1975. The bout took place at the Richfield Coliseum in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. Tags:AliWepnerboxingAdded: 19th January 2009Views: 1068Rating:Posted By:Lava1964
